Endoscopic-access dilators are reusable medical devices designed to widen narrow body passages or channels, enabling safer insertion of endoscopic tools. Clinically, they help create access routes for procedures like biopsies, drainage, or surgical interventions, often used in areas such as the biliary tract, urinary system, or joints.
These devices are typically regulated based on their intended use and risk level, with classification varying by jurisdiction. They are commonly supplied sterile or as reusable instruments requiring proper cleaning and reprocessing before each use, adhering to strict infection control standards.
